You Can Make Money in Your Own Internet Business

There is great news! You too can make money on the Internet! That's right, the fortunes being made on the Internet are not reserved for the very wealthy, the big corporations, or even the very skilled.

In fact, it doesn't take that much for you to begin making money on the Internet. And, if you will simply commit yourself to following a few simple rules, you too can become an Internet Millionaire!

Here is what you need to know to begin to build your business on the Internet.

1) Sell Something You Are Passionate About

Every single person that I have ever met who had created massive success in their lives was passionate about what they sold. They loved their products. They cherished them, and they shared their passion with their clients and sold millions of dollars of their products and services!

What are you passionate about? What keeps you up late at night and gets you out of bed long before your alarm clock goes off?

Take time to discover your passion. It will mean the difference between a mediocre life and a life full of passion! You CAN build a business with ANY product or service you have to pay money to obtain.

Think about the "Pet Rock." You can sell anything and make a fortune! And you can build a business based on a brand new, never before seen product, although that may require a little more time and effort.


                    
2) Uncover Who Shares a Passion For Your Products

To be a success, you must offer your product to those people who share a passion for what you offer. WHO are these people? And most importantly, WHERE are these people?

What publications do they read? What web sites do they visit? What companies already do business with them? Who's client list can you leverage to reach these people at the lowest possible cost?

The secret of success on the Internet is to know who wants what you have and to know how to reach them at the lowest possible cost.

3) Create an Irresistible Offer

Let's face it, you and I buy when we are presented with the right offer... especially when what is being offered is something that we really want! Your success is going to be based on your ability to create offers that make people respond. The more irresistible the offer, the more you will sell.

Remember, price is only one reason why people will buy from you, so just having  the lowest price is not always going to win you more business. You've got to think outside the box. Come up with offers that include more than just the main product or service offering. Now is the time for you to be creative, to use your
imagination and to create an offer that is dozens of times more valuable to the buyer than anything else that they can get anywhere else.

4) Let Them Know What You've Got!

Once you've got the product that your passionate about, you've discovered who else shares your passion, you know how to reach them, and you've created an irresistible offer to go along with it, now you've got to get the word out! Use newsletters, magazines, newspapers, e-mail (not unsolicited, however) use
anything you have access to let as many people as possible know what you've got!

If you're really creative, it's a good bet that the media will pick up on your offer and you can end up with tens of thousands of dollars of free promotions.

5) Test and Refine Your Offer

Once you let enough people know about what you have, take a look at how many people saw your offer and then how many of those people actually bought what you offered. If you like the numbers, keep going. Buy more advertising, tell more of the media, and keep on selling!

If, on the other hand, you were not entirely satisfied with the numbers, re-work your offer and then double-check your market and how you are reaching out to them. It could very well be that you have the right offer but are simply not reaching the right audience. Try a different market with the same offer, or try a new offer with the same market. It may take you a few tries to get it right, but it's well worth the effort! And I promise you that you will be happy with the results!

6) Deliver on Your Promises Promptly

Don't you just love to get the product or service that you ordered quickly, or at least know that it has been shipped promptly? Most of us do. When we buy, we are excited and can't wait to get the benefits of what we just purchased.

Your customers are no different. They want to know when they place an order with you that you will do your best to get them what they want as soon as possible. We all have stories of companies that took weeks to ship our order and we all know we won't be doing business with them again anytime soon, no matter how good the offer may have been.

When the order reaches you, get in the habit of making it a priority to get it invoiced, packed and shipped. You'll create a very loyal client base that will buy from you again and again if you do what you say you will do in a prompt and courteous manner.

Your Success is Up to You!

It's not hard to build a successful business, whether you do it from your kitchen table, the basement, the garage, or an office space, you can be very successful if you follow a few simple rules.

I have helped thousands of people build successful businesses on the Internet and I know what it takes to really make a business profitable. It's actually quite simple; give the customer more than you promise in less time than you promise. In other words, "under promise and over deliver."

Just look at any company you consider a success and I'm sure you will find  they follow these simple rules.

Contact Lenses and Healthy Eyes - 12 Rules Every Contact Lens Wearer Should Follow

Do you want to switch to contact lenses from glasses, but you're not sure if contact lenses are safe or if caring for them is too much of a hassle? Or do you wear contacts already and want to make sure that you do the best for your eye health?

Taking proper care of your eyes and contact lenses isn't rocket science. Here are 12 simple rules you can follow, to keep your contact lenses and your eyes happy and healthy.

  1. Modern contact lenses vary in quality; make sure that your doctor prescribes the contact lenses that are healthiest for your eyes. See suggestions on advanced contact lenses
  2. Clean your lenses every time you handle them (before putting contacts in your eyes and after removing them). Give each lens a gentle 10-15 second rub in solution. The only exception to this rule is color lenses - rinse, but don't rub them; it might damage the color.
  3. Handle only one lens at a time, so you don't confuse them. Train yourself to start with ether the right or the left lens.
  4. When cleaning your lenses don't forget to take care of the lens case as well. Wash it with unperfumed soap and let it dry. Doctors also recommend that you replace your contact lens case every 2 or 3 months.
  5. Never put your lenses in the same solution twice; replace the solution every time you handle your lenses. Usually you shouldn't use any solution 6 months after the bottle has been opened, and definitely not after the expiry date. Store your contact lenses and solution in a dry, cool place. The refrigerator door is ideal.
  6. Soft contact lenses shouldn't be allowed to dry up. The lens should be either in the eye, or in a special solution. If you accidentally let the lens dry up, throw it out, it is no longer good.
  7. Don't wear contacts if you have got a cold, cold sores or another infection. You don't want any germs to get into your eyes. It is handy to have a pair of glasses for such occasions.
  8. If you wear make-up, apply your eye make-up after putting your lenses in, and try to use water-based mascara. Lenses are very sensitive to deodorants and hair sprays, so either spray before you put the lenses in, or close your eyes very tightly while spraying.
  9. Don't forget to replace your contact lenses on schedule. Daily disposables - every morning, 2-week replacements - every fortnight and so on. A couple of days delay wouldn't make any difference, but wearing 2-week replacements for a month is definitely not healthy for your eyes. See more information about disposable contacts.
  10. Avoid smoky or dusty rooms; soft contact lenses collect every tiny particle and your eyes will feel uncomfortable.
  11. If your eyes feel uncomfortable or irritated, take the lens out. It is possible that something is stuck under it or the lens is torn. If your lens isn't damaged, wash your eye and the lens, and put it back. If the unpleasant sensation doesn't go away, take the lenses out and don't wear them until you can see your optometrist. Damaged lenses should be thrown away, no matter how expensive they are. A torn lens can do serious harm to your eye.
  12. Don't sleep in your contacts. Lenses designed as day wear block oxygen flow to your eyes and the eyelid puts extra pressure on the lens, so your eyes would feel terrible after you wake up. The only exception is extended wear lenses, like Focus Night and Day or Acuvue; they are designed for continuous wear and sleep.
If you routinely follow these rules, your contact lenses should never give you any problems and, most of the time, you should feel like you don't wear any corrective lenses at all.

Coffee and Health

Coffee and health used to be a controversial theme in the seventies. Nowadays, moderate coffee consumption is rather exonerated from its supposed negative long term effects upon health.

My mother used to be one of those persons who teaches her offspring, in its early ages, that coffee is not bad. It is bad bad bad! In consequence, I managed to keep away from coffee. At least until the difficult age of 10, when, as I remember, I was permitted to join mother and neighbour-friends at the coffee-tattle table.

That was the moment I started to exercise my taste buds on coffee. In those days, I remember developing a partiality for coffee with milk. Or should I say milk with coffee... However, I know now that the coffee I was drinking back then was indeed, not so good. P reground, over boiled, sometimes brewed over the grounds from the other day, could you think of worst? No wonder I wanted to hide those hideous characteristics with tones of milk.

In the meantime, I probably took a good sip of coffee on the road and woke-up to a much more pleasant reality. Coffee is not bad. It is good good good. But why are there so many voices whispering that coffee and health don't go well together?
Caffeine

Call it food or beverage, coffee is free of any nutritional value, and, as indecent as it may sound, we consume it exclusively for pleasure.

Yes, the caffeine content in coffee is partially responsible for that pleasure. Caffeine acts as a mild stimulant over the central nervous system, that results in better memory, better judgments and idea-associations, better movement-coordination.

A single serve espresso contains somewhere among 80 and 120 milligrams of caffeine. A normal cup of coffee (even drip coffee) contains about 100 - 150 milligrams of caffeine. This is what commonsense calls moderate consumption at one sit. Within several hours (varying from one person to another) caffeine is eliminated from the body. Referring to average coffee drinker again, s/he can have three or four sips (servings) of coffee every day aside from any health risk.

The thing about coffee is quite the same as with other foods and beverages. The effects vary with the dosing: moderate can be medicine, too much can be poison. The average coffee drinker can experience novice effects after ingesting 550 milligrams (women) and 700 milligrams (men) at one sit. These effects refer to headaches,nausea, petulance. The caffeine overdose is beeing speculated around 10 grams. I say, it would be impossible to reach it exclusively by drinking coffee, as you should ingest 100 cups at one sit. However, if you succeed, it may be the last thing you'll ever do.

Coffee is not recommended when certain health problems are allready present. Reasons could stand on solid proof or only on purpose to avoid unprooved but also unwanted risk.
Acidy

Acidy describes the sour-component of the coffee taste. Acidy (or acidity) is emphasised in Arabica coffee and in light roasts. It may have a negative efect over the digestive functions. People that are less tolerant with acidity but still want to drink coffee, may choose a decaffeinated coffee or a natural low-acidity coffee from Brazil, India or Caribbee.

Other negative effects that have been nominated (eg. over pregnant women) have not resulted in significant proof when tested. The medical society nowadays is rather exonerating coffee from long term negative effects upon human health.

The beneficial effects of coffee

Coffee has prooven beneficial effects over persons suffering from astma. 2 to 4 small cups of coffee through-out the day will help them reduce the recurency of astma-attacks and moderate their intensity.

Coffee contains natural antioxidants called 'flavonoids' that are wide known as disease protectors.

The beneficial effects of moderate caffeine consumption are wide recognised: caffeine works on alertness, mood, sensorial activity and memory. Of course, you may choose to take your daily caffeine intake from other foods and beverages: chocolate, carbonated drinks based on coca-nuts extract, tea.

Beside these effects, somewhat prooven by the medical society, I would mention one more: the pure pleasure of sipping a good cup of coffee. If every person on this planet would do this every day, I believe there would be less wars, suicides, health problems, people suffering from depression etc. etc. But I could be wrong
